Data protection

DJI Enterprise customers expect the highest standards of security and privacy for their data. The M30 offers the best data security protocols based on the Matrice 300 V3 firmware.

• Offline updates allow you to complete firmware updates completely offline. Firmware packages can be downloaded from DJI's official website and saved to an external storage device such as a microSD card, before being loaded into the M30 and updated with DJI Pilot.
• Local data mode acts like "airplane mode" on a phone by completely disconnecting the DJI M30 from the internet, ensuring that ALL data remains only in the drone.
• The SD card's AES encryption protects all photos, videos and flight logs that are stored on the microSD card via a security key and AES encryption.

DJI RC Plus: the new flagship DJI Enterprise remote control, also at 4G

The new DJI RC Plus remote control meets the high expectations of professional pilots. The DJI RC Plus features a 7-inch wide high definition screen that allows pilots to see more visual information thanks to impressive brightness.

 

Since the DJI RC Plus is IP54 certified , similar to the M30 drone, it can be used in pouring rain . The DJI RC Plus has six physical buttons below the control sticks next to the screen. They make piloting much easier, giving you control of mission-critical functions, such as switching between wide-angle, zoom, infrared and FPV views, without having to take your hands off the control sticks .

 

The RC Plus can work with the screen on for up to 6 hours . It has an internal battery and a replaceable external battery, in order to prevent the interruption of a mission. The DJI RC Plus has ports for microSD card, USB, HDMI, USB Type C and 4G connectivity (where offered), for customers who need transmission redundancy. The DJI RC Plus thus becomes the new flagship remote control of DJI Enterprise.

DJI FlightHub 2: High Awareness. Maximum integration

DJI FlightHub 2 is DJI Enterprise 's fleet management software. It benefits from major improvements over its first version to synchronize and coordinate ground teams at work, drones, payloads, pilots and all the data that is acquired. DJI FlightHub 2 is now entirely cloud -based. It allows flight mission management and operational visualization not only from the pilot's RC, but from any device with a web browser , such as computers, tablets and even mobile devices.

Everyone involved in a drone operation, from ground crews to supervisors close to managers in their offices, can access the same mission and see the data collected by drones and pilots.

DJI FlightHub 2 supports mapping features that allow users to quickly respond to rapidly changing situations.

• One-tap Panorama Sync creates a 360 ° panorama and uploads to the cloud with one tap. The shared panoramas and the coordinates from which they were captured are fed into your mission's 2.5D base map, ensuring all team members have quick aerial awareness.
• Cloud Mapping allows users to highlight an area of ​​interest, allowing the DJI M30 to automatically map the area in 2D , ideal for planning the first emergency response. DJI FlightHub 2 will turn these images into a map, which will overlap the user's mapping service provider. Once a map has been captured, it can become the basis on which to build an intervention plan.

DJI FlightHub 2 supports Live Annotations , which are points, lines, or polygons that users can draw on the map. Thanks to the DJI M30 laser rangefinder , on a search and rescue mission, a pilot can locate the coordinates of a missing person . These coordinates will automatically synchronize through the DJI FlightHub 2 mission interface allowing the command center and ground team to have real-time coordinates updates and simultaneously generate routes for rescuers. All these maps, models and inspection data can be uploaded to the cloud, supported by AWS, accessed and managed remotely.

DJI FlightHub 2 thus becomes an indispensable software to simplify communication between the control room and the ground team and manage missions in real time.

DJI Dock: Autonomous docking for scheduled flights in remote areas

DJI Dock is an autonomous take-off, landing and charging station that allows scheduled and fully automatic flights with DJI M30 series drones (Dock version). Expand the possibilities for automated missions that can be remotely monitored and supervised. After setup, the fully charged M30 drone can take off from the DJI Dock through FlightHub 2 scheduled automatic missions anywhere within a 7km radius .

Quick rotation operation

Once the drone lands after its mission, it will automatically reload. Thanks to the fast charging and battery cooling system, the drone can take off again only 25 minutes after landing .

Excellent environmental adaptability

The modular and durable design allows continuous operation day and night , regardless of the weather conditions. DJI Dock was built to last and to require minimal care and maintenance. It is IP55 rated and the main internal components are IP67, making it waterproof and dustproof even when open.
